Being stolen from requires a good deal of stupidity on the behalf of the victim. Dont stand around with pockets full of gear, problem solved.

Or make everything hardcore, wait for veteran players to be bored and quit and cry "Why nobody plays :'{".
If people were not supposed to be any little safe in guarded towns they wouldn't begin their game near one.

Just deal with the fact it won't be gathering on 30secs anymore, and it's already been said that PvP stealing is going to be changed, and not in favor of pickpockets.

I think it's still a -lot- safer in guarded towns. A pickpocket takes much less than a group of drugged killers, or stealth bursters that you get in Redding, Hills, or Reno. Also, you can easily counter them, there is even defense from bomb-planters, and if you don't stand on the grid with valuable equipment, you are even safe from suiciders.

If you feel thieves are the worst you have to deal, you are lucky, or even more green than me, who just came lately.

They are worst to deal with, besides suicide bombers, because there is absolutely no real way to defend yourself.  Wanna shop?  Too bad because there's a bastard who's going to harrass you out of everything you have or make you run away.

I think there are more than one shops out there.

I found thievery very fun on both sides - even when they stole the 60 weak powder off me at the time when that was my best money-making method. It definitely adds to the wasteland atmosphere. I think the game wouldn't be more fun neither for the thieves, nor for their victims if stealing would be any harder.

Also - wanna know the best way to counter such? Make your thief too. I bet after you get to 300%, none of your other characters will be pocketed again.
